What people write

Transparency mode doesn’t line up. Awesome app with tons of customization. The only thing that’s holding it back from 5 stars for me is transparency mode not lining up correctly with my wallpapers. It’s slightly off which isn’t super noticeable but noticeable enough for me to be obsessing over it.
